The South Australian Government's call for an indefinite suspension of jumps racing has angered the Oakbank Racing Club.

Racing Minister Michael Wright says too many horses are dying as a result of jumps races.

Three jumps horses have died in the past three days in Victoria, including South Australian-trained Clearview Bay.

Two horses have also died at Adelaide jumps races within the last two weeks.

Oakbank chairman John Glatz says a suspension would be devastating.

"We are one month into our jumping season in South Australia, we have had people prepare horses for the last 6 months in preparation for the jumping season and it just throws everything upside down if the Government tries to impose a restriction such as this," he said.
